Abstract

This article defines the main issues of the research area under consideration, discusses the literature sources of Russian scientists engaged in research in the field of agroforestry pyrology in Russia in recent years. The fundamental issues of fundamental research include the analysis of the occurrence of fires, the characteristics of the spread of fires and their course in various biotopes of agroforestry ecosystems. The nature of the pyrogenic impact is considered from the ecological and evolutionary components of the environment. Applied research issues are developments to improve and increase the efficiency of environmental protection services, assessment and rational use of fires in reclamation plantations. The basic information on fundamental and applied research of domestic scientists is reflected. At present, agroforestry pyrology is a fairly young branch of the science of agroforestry, therefore, insufficient results have been accumulated on theoretical and practical knowledge. The ongoing research is the basis for the development of measures to combat fires in agroforestry landscapes. These activities should include the selection of the most optimal modern means and methods of extinguishing fires, increasing the efficiency of services for the prevention of their development, timely detection, elimination, monitoring, and determining the positive role of fire. The data obtained by domestic researchers constitute a cumulative complex of knowledge about the nature of fires and how to deal with them.
